Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore an increase in linezolid-nonsusceptible staphylococci and enterococci after switching to an automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing system.
- - Testing 27 nonsusceptible isolates revealed that only 70 to 75% confirmed resistance through various methods, indicating poor agreement between testing techniques.
- - Genetic analysis found mutations linked to linezolid resistance in 59.3% of isolates and identified new variants that could also play a role in resistance.
Background: Hypotension doubles the adverse outcome of severe brain injury (BI). This finding is thought to be due to secondary ischemia caused by cerebral hypoperfusion. Aggressive prehospital fluid resuscitation in BI is advocated to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP).

Am J Optom Physiol Opt
May 1988
A single, masked controlled clinical trial showed that vision therapy improved both the accuracy and repeatability of stereophotogrammetric performance on the profiling task with experienced, visually normal observers. The average fixation disparity measured under working conditions decreased and stereoscopic acuity as measured with a Howard-Dolman apparatus increased. The data suggest that vision therapy is most helpful for those profiling situations in which disparity stimuli are plentiful and stereopsis is the dominant depth cue.
